The USM-3 ultrasonic bolt meter, manufactured by Norbar Torque Tools has won a gold medal at the recent MetrolExpo show in Moscow. This is a leading event for metrology, the science of measurement, and the award was presented "for high quality accuracy of measurement, ease of use, storage and retrieval of data."

Recent Tests carried out by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) have demonstrated that vibration exposure for operators using pneumatic torque multipliers to tighten 100 commercial vehicle wheel nuts was 10 times lower than when traditional impact wrenches are used. The Norbar Pneutorque PTM-72-1350-B and one other multiplier were subjected to lab and field tests by the HSE and both tools confirmed the manufacturers claims of low vibration emissions.
